Presenting my first Bvlgari bag! It’s the limited edition from the collaboration between Mary Katrantzou & Bvlgari. The craftsmanship is superb! The interchangeable between top handle and shoulder chain adds versatility to the bag. It’s a jewelry/bag combined piece of art!

It is a gorgeous bag! Congratulations! I saw one that had been preordered and my kind SA let me take a peek at it. The artistry and craftsmanship with the top handle and chain are extraordinary. Wear it in good health.

Your cat is so adorable!
I own this bag and even in black, the soft leather isn't the easiest to maintain.
Have you had any trouble with the leather, I just don't feel the bag will last very long but the snake handle is really unique and pretty!

Hello, I had taken her out quite often (mostly with the long shoulder strap). so far so good....I put a leather condition on when initially took her home. The brand is called Apple Brand Leather Care (I am sure there are other similar brands/products out there). There was a stain I noticed the other day, but I used a white cloth/baby wipes to clean it off and it was gone. I think the leather condition helps giving it some water/stain repellant. I hope you will continue to enjoy her :)

Congrats!! Which color did you decide on? Hope it will arrive soon, and please share photos!! I have been enjoying her a lot, carrying her to day trip etc... I did mention on an earlier post that I put leather condition on so it helps prevent some water/stain.

?!
Why only in July and the bag is sold out in many countries and customers tried to order and my store either transfers unsold stock from other countries and they actually rejected many orders of the limited edition piece.

The lambskin is super soft and even on black, you see some scuffs here and there. The lighter colors would need extra tlc.

Leather is super soft and if you're not careful. Tough fingernail scratch might leave a mark.

It's to do with the softness of the leather and the edges looks to be glued and stitched.
Prior to my purchase, the store even said some of the snakehead position was not right and some already had scuffs prior to use.

It's not a piece you use everyday but I have never used it with the convertible chain. It honestly doesn't look like a bvlgari bag with the chain on.
It could be from anywhere.

The edges are glued?! I never read or saw anywhere that bulgari glues their bags? That is really shocking!
Can anyone with bulgari bags help- is this true?
@TraceySH any insight?
